Gambler Job Discussion Thread (Update on First Post!)

[LastingDawn]

Oh, I like that one, she doesn't look completely kind but at the same time, doesn't look as if she'll kill your first born, I really like this one.

[mav]

Cool, cool. That one seemed better to me too. The next eyes I would have used would be something more like the Dancer's. But those, coupled with this crafty little smile, really screamed seductress.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Regarding the sprite..,
the red streak on the bonnet is only a design. Much like the design from the male gambler's jacket.

I like this one better.


For the last one, maybe make her a little bit fatter, imo.

@Sir Cheetah
I'll give it a try.

[LastingDawn]

My problem with that one, is she looks too ditzy, she looks as if she's gazing off into the distance without a care of the world. Though perhaps you have a different view on this? (Probably which ever one isn't chosen to be the Gambler's portrait will be the new portrait for Gretchen)

[Cheetah]

It is true that my first thought when seeing the second face of the portrait was "OMG he is hidious". After further inspection it grew on me, but I think you need to go in a slightly different direction, her forhead just looks way too big. Mostly because the forhead was meant to be on a head at a different angle then what the rest of the head is at.

[Archael]

could that smile be more subtle?

I like the eyes and the face in general but that smile is too pronounced imo... not sure how that'd be done

[boomkick]

change the eyebrows to make it a little more menacing, makes all the difference.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Haven't changed the eyebrows yet.

Update:

[boomkick]

I was saying to change the eyebrows on this one (since i kinda like this one better).


The one thats being worked on now looks like her head has an acorn shape to it...

O yeah and a lot of good gamblers are attractive and have very... concrete emotions. They don't show them very often. And if they do, they stick with it the whole time. A smile will always stay a smile or anger will always stay anger, even when they are happy (don't know if that makes sense o.O).

[MiKeMiTchi]

Yeah. Agreed. I like that one, too.

Hah! That was my exact reasoning behind the first portrait. I'm gonna go back to that one, since I've found a couple more options, in terms of eyes and brows, I'll post as I complete 'em.

Thanks for the input and updates, guys.

EDIT: Alright, went back to the old head shape, used the dancer's eyes, and changed the hairline a bit. Lemme know what you think.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Okay another update.


This one for me, looks good.

EDIT:
@mav,
She looks old, looks more like a gambler.

[mav]

I realized every modification I tried on her other head made her look younger and younger. So I went the opposite direction and used eyes that no young'un should have: the dancer's eyes! Though now she looks seductive and sneaky. But the smile has been made less pronounced.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Yes, but I think it won't fit with the sprite.
Maybe bec. of the skirt?

Updated sprite:

[LastingDawn]

Hmm that's true. Her whole appearance is altogether youthful, while an older woman sprite would be interesting for some class, it seems because of the sprite for such it might not work too well.

[mav]

So what exactly do we want out of this portrait? I prefer the other head shape, cause it keeps her from looking like a little kid, but the eyes apparently age her.

I'll post what I got, but I dunno what to expect.

[LastingDawn]

Hmm, that eyebrow arch is rather nice, the other eye looks rather normal, so it seems as if she's purposely raising her eyebrow as if something has piqued her interest.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Hmm.. looks..
maybe make the smile move one coordinate to the right.
and also add more hair on the left side.

[mav]

Update.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Hmm.. That's good enough.
I suggest you copy the smile from the portrait I made. hehehe.

ed:
I still like the very first one!!
